Marlon "Chito" Vera Career Highlights

Vera wasted no time getting to work and wrapping up his business this night. After their initial encounter was canceled at UFC 235 due to Vera's illness, both Saenz and Vera returned to settle their unfinished business, both coming in on a two-fight win streak.

Starting off the action with a strong leg kick, Vera followed up with a left jab that staggered Saenz, causing him to fall to the mat. Seizing the moment, Vera immediately rushed in with a barrage of punches, leading the referee to stop the fight. This decisive victory added another significant win to Vera's record.
